the is making the united states weak. that navy seal joins you by skype. ryan, you are not happy about the president's comments. why not? >> well, i think they were naive. when the world was on fire, you have a president that's going to las vegas, you have a president that fails to meet the prime minister of israel when israel could potentially launch against iran. the comment about that there are bumps in the road after an ambassador is killed in the streets, and others, is naive. >> greta: you knew both navy seals killed in lib camera, is thalibya.is that right, sir? >> i did. the seal community is a small community. we're a voice of active duty that can't talk, and the retired seals and special operations force. i'm excited to be a part of the program. it's not that i don't like this president. i don't like his policies. >> greta: your statement was particularlparticularly harsh. it wasn't that you just didn't like his policy. you said, the president in part refuses to admit that policy of appeasement and apology has failed. that's harsher than saying you just don't like his p

iii of the constitution, which says, the judicial power of the united states shall be vested in one supreme court and such inferior courts the congress may from time to time ordain and establish. and that is as article iii goes on and talks a bit about the jurisdiction of the court and so on, but many, many unanswered questions, including for instance no mention of the chief justice in article iii. we only inferred that are supposed to be a chief justice because he is given in article article ii, the presidential article, the right to preside over -- not the right, the duty to preside over the impeachment trial in the senate of the president of the united states. and remember, william rehnquist did that in the bill clinton impeachment trial and when he was later asked what it had amounted to, he said i did nothing in particular and i did it very well. so the duties of the chief justice are undefined. and much about the supreme court initially with undefined. so it really had to create itself and it's done so not in a straight line progression, but it's done so true askew says some o
